CANADA ALL DISTURBED.

OTTAWA, ONT. Jan. 26.-The announce
ment of the passage in the United States
Senate of Senator Edmunds' retaliatory
resolutions against Canada has caused
not only much excitement, but consider
able uneesiness to the Dominion govern
ment, which fact the members of the
cabinet fail to conceal The ministers Of
the government considered the matter as
buncombe, not believing it would pass
either house. Minister of Marine and
Fisheries Foster states that the fishery
question has resolved itself into this:
We must either abandon our fisheries to
American fishermen or protect them as
the treaty of 1878 provides. We are
more disposed to deal fairly as regards
the action OF the United States Senate
and the retaliatory measure which tits
proposed to make. The law will cut
both wsys, and not until it has been in
operation for a while will the United
States realize who will be the most in
jured by it. Canada is simply standing
by her rights in accordance with the
treaty, in which she is supported by the
British government.
Regarding the charge made that the
Dominion government had acted in a
mean, unfriendly spirit, he said how
much more so was the spirit which
prompted the seizure of Canadian sealing
vessels by United States guuboat for
sailing ia Behring's sea, $50 miles from
shore, and the fines and Imprisonment of
the captains Of the sealing vessels? AS
regards the refusal to allow Canadian
cars to pass intJ the United States, the
Commissioner Of Customs states that
such step on the part OF the United
States government would necessitate a
similar Restriction as regards United
entering Canada at Windsor,
and passing out over the Canada
Southern at Niagara. 1t is unnecessary
to say that the attitude taken at Washing
ton as regards the Dominion has struck
alarm in both political and commercial
circles. 1t must have serious effect on
trade, as shippers will not know how
they stand, or how the difficulty will ter
inmate.
THE NEW ENGLANDERS HAPPY.

Mayor O'Brien said: "lhe conduct of

in their favor, and am glad Congress has
up and adopted policy of retail

bill are eminently just and right"
Leopord Morse said: "Congress has

WHAT THE LONDON PRESS SAY.
LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Post this morn
ing in an article on the passage in the
United States Senate Monday of the
fisheries retaliation bill says: awe are
sure that Mr.. Ingalls, out-spoken bitter
ness against England does not represent
the feeling OF either the American Senate
or people. On the other hand it would
be foolish to shut our eyes to the i'm
portance of the question involved"
The Chronicle thinks the fact that
Ingalls, splenetic out burst neither sur
prised nor shocked the more
respectable Senators is far more ser
ious matter than the dispute itself, 9and
ehepsssthe Washington authorities will
early disclalm any community of feeling
with Mr.. Ingalls,. s
The Daily News says: "To-day's tel
egrams from New York, Montreal aed
Ottawa are Of very reassuring charge
ter. Nobody here regards the violent
speeches of Senators Ingalls,, Hale and
Frye seriously. Even Gignifed American
senators are not above playing to the
gallery. 1t is much to be hoped that no
steps will be taken to exasperate the
quarrel and that the good sense of Can
ada will insist upon policy Of peace"
The Standard says: "President Cleve-
land will probably have the good sense to
veto the bill or agree to it merely IN form,
as prelude to amicable negotiations. We
protest against the idea of either England
or Canada being coerced INTO yielding
iot OF their rights by such threats"
